Apex

W1LD - Apex (This is a machine AI translation from Japanese. We will replace it once the English description done by our staff is ready.) Rings that won't shift on impact, from 10-time U.S. National 3A Champion Alex Hattori. Alex Hattori has taken the U.S. National 3A division title ten times, and the Apex is his signature model. 3A is the style of working two yo-yos at once, one in each hand, and because the yo-yos frequently collide during play, they need real durability. Alex designed the Apex himself to meet that demand. An A7075 body is wrapped in a POM shell, with stainless steel rings fitted around the outside — a tri-material build that combines three different materials. Unlike the usual construction, where a rim weight is simply pressed into place, here the stainless rings, the POM shell, and the aluminum body all mesh together and lock in place. Because of this, the rings never shift no matter how many hits the yo-yo takes, and the build is stronger for it. It is made for the hard use that 3A, with its constant collisions, demands, and built to last. With the weight concentrated in the outer stainless rings, spin power is strong and the yo-yo resists tilting out of plane during play. Even so, it is far from as sluggish as it looks, and it can be moved quite fast. The POM shell is smooth to the touch, with a soft feel on the catch. Holding its speed despite sitting on the heavier side, and uniting impact-proof rings that stay put with the strong spin and stability that stainless and aluminum alloy produce together, the Apex is a tri-material model built to support Alex Hattori's fast 3A play.
